Game Thread Game #34 - BLAZERS VS MAVERICKS - DECEMBER 27, 2021 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

Pretty poor

 

I'm curious if their minds have changed or not. They were cat-calling me after our blowout losses last year when I was holding firm that coaching was not the main issue, so I don't see the problem following up.

 

I'm sitting here waiting for Draft night

 

I'm actually enjoying watching the new guys playing more than I've enjoyed the rest of the game.

 

Remember the excitement when we had the picks for LaMarcus (trade), Oden, Lillard, etc? I'll take that over this putrid mess.

 

Yeah Cumberland!

WTF?! Refs reviewing it! Grinches!

 

Well we are going be in trouble with all the players that's out. But we get some new faces we can watch and who knows maybe someone will stand out from these G-league players that we can keep.

 

Right; I only enjoyed the last five minutes of the game.

 

Williams looks like a good prospect.

 

What is sad is the Mavs were missing about as many....and their best player. We had Dame....and still got pummeled at home.

 

Great game by Nas! Keep working on that three point shot, and he could be a star.

 

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
Mavs 132, Blazers 117
Blazers get trounced at home and fall to 13-20 on the season. Come discuss the game with us.

 

It's a bad time to be a basketball fan right now. The product is going to be inconsistent and I think most of us want change to our roster now but with the uncertainty in the league a lot of front offices including possibly our own might be waiting to see how COVID impacts the season before making moves closer to the deadline.

 

Come on. The Blazers were SHORThanded. They had absolutely nothing to throw at Porzingis and Powell.

 

They have been SHORThanded all season. It hasn't had much to do with their effort either way.

 

The refusal to blow it up is gonna set the team back even further. Hopefully my kids get to experience another finals in their lives

 

Yeah, we're a team in desperate need of change. I think the players know that too and so we're not seeing their best on top of having a terribly constructed roster. I'm just happy that Dame is moving well again, that his three point percentage is coming back up to where it needs to be and that he's getting to the free throw line and making them. Regardless of what a roster around Dame looks like we need him to be doing those things.

 

Let’s just stick to tonight’s game. There have been multiple reasons the rest of the season has gone so poorly, but tonight the Blazers just didn’t have the size to match up with the Mavs.

 

We are so lost felt like Dame was forcing shots and so many turnovers. We so desperately need a trade but at same time I would love a high draft pick.

 

Then a trade for Simmons but he sits out the rest of the year. Then come back next season with a high Lottery pick, whatever pieces they got from trades, + Dame/Ben.
